Nervous Excited Anxious Happy Sad - Surgery in 9 hours...



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. Just checking in. I’ve tried some carbs and all of my old “trigger” foods make me sick! pretzels yuck, potato chips I throw up, cakes and ice cream I can’t look at. French fries are absolutely disgusting. Hamburgers taste like wax.

I like boiled eggs, a little slice about 2 inch by 2 inch gluten free bread with boiled egg on top for Breakfast and homemade iced coffee. I also loooove ceasare salad with chicken.

I hate and throw up butter, Peanut Butter, guacamole, etc. I hate fat. Chicken and turkey skin. No mashed potatoes.

I love carrots broccoli green Beans, bananas and oranges.

I love sushi still. Spicy tuna roll. But I can’t really eat much. My whole meal is 50% of one roll.

I still dream of food. I still cheat and love hard candy but I don’t keep it in the house.

Im down from 295 to 260 day of surgery to 212 yesterday.

Most fish makes me sick. I can never look at another Protein Shake. I like crock potted moist fall off the bone meat with veggies.

Im still hungry a lot!

I sleep the night thru and no cpap!

I cant believe how much attention I get from the opposite sex even though I’m married. It’s so weird. Like I’ve been hit on 1-3 x a week!

I struggle with calories in. Only getting 1200 per day. Still losing weight.

Im really happy with the surgery.

Still struggling with food is NOT a reward. Food is NOT a comfort. Food IS sustenance only.

Like they say in The Mandalorian, “I have spoken!”

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
